holstein^^ assuming thats what you need04:44
Unit193You missed nvidia!  Could try and see if jockey is any good now.04:45
holsteinUnit193: i think it links both :)04:48
theDeadSingerthe "sudo lshw -C video" command, is that ever wrong? it's telling me i've got a different video card than i thought. it seems rather specific, giving me the manufacturer...04:58
holsteintheDeadSinger: the trouble is, your hardware case is specific to you.. i usually run a live CD when i get a new box... i run lspci and start researching what doesnt work05:18
holstein!ati | theDeadSinger05:18
ubottutheDeadSinger: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto05:18
holstein^^ that is likely the best place to start05:18
holsteintheDeadSinger: im about to crash... you can try #ubuntu if you need.. intstalling these drivers is pretty much the same for all the *buntu's... you are welcome to hang here as long as you like.. cheers!05:21

Ray__Is there a way that I can stop the "Power Manager" popup from popping up and telling me that my system is on batter power/charging?21:24
Unit193Ray__: Pull up the power manager settings and uncheck "Show notifications to notify about the battery state", this'll also not tell you when it is under 10%, I'd guess.21:26
Ray__Okay, thanks.21:26
DiegonguiHello I want to install or update adobe flash player. I already search but it's difficult for me21:48
Diegonguianyone can help me with that ?21:48
DiegonguiI've downloaded the tar file but I don't know what to do with that21:49
holsteinDiegongui: i wouldnt do it that way21:58
holsteinhttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04 should work21:59
holsteinmight need to get more manual with it in lubuntu21:59
holsteinsudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras would do this and other packages you might want/need22:00
holstein!flash22:01
ubottuTo install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also  !Restricted and !Gnash22:01
Diegonguinothing happens when I click on apt:flashplugin-installer22:01
Diegonguii mean on the button22:01
holsteinDiegongui: i wouldnt expect the software center popups to work with lubuntu22:01
DiegonguiI read that uboutuu22:01
Diegonguibut It's complicated22:01
holsteinDiegongui: i would refer to the information, and adapt it22:02
DiegonguiI don't use konqueror neither ff22:02
Diegonguijust chromium22:02
holsteinsure.. you can also just use chrome if you want.. the 32bit version has flash built in22:02
holsteinDiegongui: the packages im suggesting will get you flash for any browser though22:03
Diegonguiyou mean I don't have to update anything?22:03
holsteinDiegongui: im not following your question22:03
holsteinDiegongui: the 32bit chrome browser has flash built in22:03
Diegongui"the 32bit version has flash built in"22:03
holsteincorrect22:04
holstein*not* chromium22:04
holsteinchrome..22:04
Diegonguioh, you are right22:04
holsteinor.. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer22:04
holsteinor search for flash in the package manager of your choice22:04
holsteinOR sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras22:04
Diegonguiwith this nothing happens "or.. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"22:05
holsteinOR use chrome (not chromium) from https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/22:05
Diegonguiin the package? you mean lubuntu software ? I already have adobe flash installed22:06
holsteinDiegongui: then restart the browser and try http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/22:06
Diegongui3rd option is downloading 70mb22:06
Diegongui:p22:06
holsteinDiegongui: you dont *need* flash .. and its not shipped by default.. if you want to add functionality, you'll need to add software that will take up space22:07
DiegonguiI don't need flash but when I wanted to see a youtube video it notices me that I have to update it22:08
holsteinDiegongui: you might get a notice about flash beind out of date22:09
holsteinDiegongui: that doesnt mean you dont have flash installed.. nor does it mean you dont have the latest version of flash for linux installed22:09
holsteinDiegongui: i would tell the browser to dismiss those notices.. or use chrome which maintains its own flash..22:09
Diegonguichromium it installed by default I think22:11
holsteinDiegongui: nope22:11
DiegonguiI don't want to change the browser, It's getting good so far22:11
holsteinDiegongui: its not included in chromium.. .chromium is opensource.. flash is not22:12
DiegonguiIf I change, I'd use a lighter one22:12
holsteinDiegongui: you dont have to. im only offering you the method by which to get the latest flash.. which is with chrome..22:12
Diegonguii mean on lubuntu22:12
Unit193Chromium is installed as the default, but correct that it doesn't come with flash.  flashplugin-installer adds it.22:12
holsteinadobe is not maintaining flash for linux anymore AFAIK.. but chrome is supplying and maintaining it22:13
Diegonguithat installer I already have on lubuntu software22:13
Diegonguiso, I have to do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" any time I want to update flashplugin ?22:15
holsteinDiegongui: no22:15
Diegonguithat process just already stop22:15
Diegonguinothing else happened22:16
holsteinDiegongui: that will get you flash as well.. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer will get you *just* flash22:16
DiegonguiI konw that abobe will no longer update flash for linux22:21
holsteinthats why you get the popups about it being out of date..22:21
Diegonguibut I'm sory, I don't get the rest... I must be stupid22:21
holsteinDiegongui: its not out of date in chrome22:22
Diegonguibut It is not ?22:22
holsteinDiegongui: but, if you dont want chrome, thats fine22:22
holsteinif you want *just* flash, you install it ... the package is called flashplugin-installer22:22
Diegonguiand You suggest that I download chrome22:22
holsteinDiegongui: i dont care which you do.. im just offering suggestions...if you dont want to see a popup about flash being out of date...22:23
Diegonguinow I have installed flashplugin installer right ?22:23
holsteinDiegongui: you can open a termina and copy-paste this.. without the quote marks.. "sudo apt-get instal flashplugin-installer"22:24
DiegonguiI already did that22:24
holsteinyou'll be prompted for your password, and then it will either install, or say "its already installed"22:24
holsteinthen, you can restart the browser and visit http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/22:24
Diegonguiubuntu-restricted-extras ya está en su versión más reciente.22:25
DiegonguiThank you for your patiance !22:25
holsteinDiegongui: above, i didnt say to do that.. i said "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"22:25
Diegonguisays it's already uptated22:26
holsteinsudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer22:26
holsteinDiegongui: ok.. so you can continue with my suggestion.. restart the browser and visit http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/22:26
DiegonguiIt says it's already updated22:27
holsteinDiegongui: the site should say what version you have installed22:27
Diegonguiok22:28
holsteinDiegongui: in which case, you can stop trying to install flash, and just use it22:28
Diegonguihaha22:28
DiegonguiLet's see22:28
DiegonguiYou have version 11,2,202,258 installed22:29
holsteinDiegongui: thats it then... so when a site says "you dont have the latest version" you can ignore that message22:30
DiegonguiAll right then22:30
Diegonguiand you said that there is a way to get rid of that message ?22:30
holsteinDiegongui: depends.. should be a "dont show me this message" check box22:32
Diegonguioh22:32
Diegonguiholstein: do you use antivirus on lubuntu ?22:37
holsteinDiegongui: no22:37
DiegonguiIt's true that the hard drive doesn't get fragmented in linux with ext 3 ?22:38
DiegonguiI read that because I couldn't find a degragger for linux22:38
holsteinDiegongui: read what you like22:38
holsteinDiegongui: i dont defrag or run antivirus22:39
DiegonguiOk22:39
holsteinDiegongui: you should read and make decisions for yourself22:39
holsteinDiegongui: do i think you need to? no22:39
